In a report first disclosed last week in the Wall Street Journal, Attorney General John Ashcroft presented his plan of creating prisons camps for U.S. citizens he declares enemy combatants. Under the proposal, Ashcroft could order the indefinite incarceration of American citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts with the mere designation as an enemy combatant. This is all because of President Bush's Patriot Act signed into law last fall.

What I find interesting here is how the American people are again being lied to. They say they want to create the camps? Hello... America, they already exist. It is estimated that there are between 160 – 190 detention internment facilities in the United States. Each are capable of housing between 10,000 to 300,000 civilians. These are camps that will hold between 40-45 million people. Most of these camps are located on active military bases, or closed military bases which have been converted to detention facilities. Very few lists of such facilities are available to the general public, and with good reason. It simply makes sense to keep these facilities secret to keep from the American people what the government is really doing.

Photos exist of detention camps at Camp Grayling in Grayling, Michigan; Fort Dix, New Jersey; and the Federal Transfer Center-Temporary Facility at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Miscellaneous pictures have been taken of other sites showing empty fields with ten foot fences topped with razor wire pointing inward creating holding pens. These sites also have stadium lighting and guard towers surrounding the sites. The questions that should be asked is who are these holding pens for? Cattle do not climb fences. Cattle do not need barb wire at ten foot height and guard towers?

Does this remind you of the concentration camps that Hitler created in Germany to get rid of the Jews? There are reports of an underground facility under Denver with a crematorium. What will they use these camps for. In case of a disaster of any type, health, economic, terrorists, thousands upon thousands of people could be herded into these camps at a moments notice, once Marshall Law is declared. It would be supervised by FEMA, Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The next question is... who is the government defining as an enemy combatant?

People such as this:

Terroists who are also defined as:

Defenders of the U.S. Constitution or one who makes numerous references to the U.S. Constitution because they label these people as "right wing" activists.

Animal-rights groups and environmental groups

Any group of individuals engaged in militia type training. Remember one important thing here. If it had not been for the militia in the Carolinas against the war with the British, we would have lost the war in 1774. The militia were farmers who took up arms against the British alongside General Washington who would become our first President of this great country. Even the thought of suggesting what Ashcroft is wanting to do to American citizens is uncomprehensible, this is America. When is this madness going to stop?

When is the last time you read our Bill Of Rights? Do you know how they are suppose to protect our rights? Do you know how many of them have been circumvented by our government? Below are the Bill Of Rights of the United States of America. I urge you to read them carefully. I have also listed examples of how these rights have been stripped away. Later on, I will tell you the facts of a man that was on trial and where the Judge would not allow his attorney to reference any part of our Constitution or Bill Of Rights. What is our country becoming?

Note: The following text is a transcription of 27 amendments to the Constitution in their original form. The first TEN amendments were ratified December 15, 1791, and form what is known as the Bill of Rights of the United States of America.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Examples of how these rights have been taken away

The right to petition has been taken away.

The right to peaceble assembly has been taken away. Look at the recent events last week in Oregon. When President Bush was in Oregon, over 500 peaceful demontrators,( some were nuns ) were tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets by military swat teams. An infant was injured in this atrocity. Peaceful groups that want you to know the truth are slowly being eliminated. Below, you'll read how the government can do this by Presidential Executive Orders, not laws of Congress.

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

How many times has the government tried to take arms out of the people?
Later, I will tell you the facts about how one man in Colorado was not allowed to bear arms and why.

Amendment III

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Examples of rights ignored

Warrantless searches in homes just because federal or local law enforcement deem it necessary.

A Pakastani, (American citizen ) owned Jewelry store was raided without warrant and their contents taken. No charges were ever filed.

NO KNOCK" breaching and searching of homes, meaning any law enforcement or military person could just "burst" into your home without knocking.

U.S. Supreme Court approves warrantless searches of automobiles.

Naked man who did not have any type of weapon who was shot dead in his own home by a sheriff searching without a search warrant for alleged drugs when none were found.

THE PATRIOT ACT, President Bush's wish list that Congress signed into law last fall totally ignors these rights. Prior Attorney General Janet Reno and present Attorney General Ashcroft has made a mockery of these inalienable rights.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Examples of rights ignored

Alleged terrorists, one being a U.S. citizen are still being held after months of detention without appearing before a Judge for charges to be filed. Due process has been completely ignored.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Examples of rights ignored

The Secret Court in Washington D.C., where no jury trial is ever held.

Alleged terrorists, one being a U.S. citizen still being held without due process and without teh assistance of legal counsel. The Justice Departments comments, "we don't plan on prosecuting any time soon". THE PATRIOT ACT, President Bush's wishlist that Congress signed into law last fall totally ignors these rights.

Amendment VII

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Amendment VIII

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. --]* The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Example of this right ignored

This was not the case for business owner Rick Stanley, also a Liberatian U.S. Senate Candidate in Colorado last year. Stanley protested a Denver ordinance against bearing arms in Denver. Speaking at a rally on Dec. 15th, celebrating the 210th anniversary of the Bill Of Rights, Stanley strapped on a hip holster bearing a .380 Beretta (fellow protester Duncan Philp chose a shoulder rig). He even informed local authorities he would be wearing it at the rally. Stanley was arrested by local police and charged.

During the trial, defense attorney Paul Grant's questioning of a potential juror who was also a police officer that gave the first sign of the way things were going to go in Judge Patterson's courtroom.

Attorney Grant asked the juror, "When you became a police officer didn't you take an oath to protect and defend the constitutions of the United States and the state of Colorado." The juor replied, "I guess I did; I can't remember." Grant then asked, "Were you ever instructed in those constitutional rights? The juror replied, "no."

Attorney Grant then asked her, "If the judge were to instruct you that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the defendant a right to keep and bear arms, do you think you could follow his instructions?"

Pandemonium and sheer panic erupted in the Denver courtroom halfway through teh attorneys' question. The city attorney suddenly jumped to his feet to object as Judge Patterson banged his gavel.

Dismissing the prospective jurors for lunch, Judge Patterson lectured Grant, instructing him, according to both Grant's recollection and Stanley's, "I already sent you an order in this case. The order has been mailed to your offices. You are not to mention the Constitution during this proceeding. Do you understand?" Attorney Grant replied that he did not.

The defendant, Stanley and his attorney Grant report that the judge said, "Then I'll explain it again. You are not to reference the Constitution in these proceedings. You will not address it in voir dire, you will not address it in your opening remarks, you will not ask any questions about the Constitution when you summon your witnesses, and you will not talk about the Constitution when you give your closing arguments. Do you understand my instructions?"

What is the damage to this man's Constitutional rights by this move of Judge Patterson. A jury of five women and one man, not including the cop was finally seated.

Attorney Grant then presented to the judge (he was not allowed to make this argument to the jury) the affirmative defense that both the Second Amendment and the Constitution of Colorado, Article II, protect the defendant's right to keep and bear arms, citing a Colorado Supreme Course as a controlling precedent. However...Judge Patterson rejected the defense argument along with all others, replying (according to Grant, Stanley and another witness) that precedents of the Colorado Supreme Court and even the Constitution of Colorado are not applicable in Denver, because Denver is a home-rule city.

What other constitutional rights could be violated so blatantly, and with such impunity? If the Denver City Council passed an ordinance banning Presbyterian sermons within city limits; or free speech by anyone but Republicans (and then only on Tuesdays from noon to 3), would Judge Patterson sit there and wimper, "I have no choice but to enforce the law as written. The defendant was clearly caught conducting a Presbyterian religious service within the city limits".

Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

PLANS IN PLACE IN CASE MARSHALL LAW IS DECLARED

The following are plans are in place and in some instances already been used. Recent example, the tear gassing and shooting with rubber bullets of peaceful demonstrators in Oregon.

Operation Garden Plot

Operation Garden Plot refers to federal military assistance given to local and state law enforcement agencies. It is to be used during times of civil disturbances to control the civilian population. It is a spinoff of Rex-84. This operation is also referred to as Oplan Garden Plot,Garden Plot, MACDIS (Military Assistance to Civil Disturbances), and Garden MACDIS. This operation was first made public in the mid-1980’s.

The United States Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2, or Operation Garden Plot, is a direct support operation for the Army, Airforce, Navy, and Marines with airlift and logistic support to respond to civil disturbances. Airlift force will be composed of MAC organic airlift resources, aircraft from the USAF, air reconnaissance, and airborne psychological operations. This operation will target people or groups the government considers disruptive elements. It defines as resistance groups, tax protesters, right wing ctivist groups, people who will be considered non-conformists, or people who simply protest governmental actions. Its activation is deemed necessary when local or state authorities cannot maintain law and order. Deadly force, ( meaning to kill) is permitted against any group or person perpetrating what the Federal government will consider civil disorder. Furthermore, Operation Garden Plot also provides for federal troops andthe National Guard to combine their efforts with United Nation troopswhile conducting operations.

The cement that pulls all this together is Presidential Decision Directive – 25 (PDD-25). Though PDD-25 is classified, an executive summary is available and discusses the relationship between the United States troops and the United Nations forces in operations here in the United States and abroad. This gives military forces from other countries the same power of intervention. Another example for the use of Operation Garden Plot occurred on April 29th, 1992. C alifornia experienced the worst riots since the 1960’s in LosAngeles. It began as a small disturbance and quickly accelerated into a full-blown riot that killed 44 people. Hundreds of others were injured, and cost close to one billion dollars in property damage. The riots were so overwhelming that the L.A. police in many instances would not attempt to stop the rioters and looters. They left citizens to defend themselves and their property. Something had to be done, but innocent Americans lost property, were arrested in error and detained for periods wihtout legal assistance.

The governor of California directed the National Guard to mobilize and assist the local police. On May 1, 1992, President Bush signed ExecutiveOrder 12804, ordering federal troops in to assist the National Guard andlocal police. The plan they followed was the Department of Defense Civil Disturbances Plan (Operation Garden Plot). The operation included such agencies as LAPD Emergency Operations Center, City Command, the Sheriff’soffice, FBI, and the ATF. Today, what could possibly happen in this country to activate such an operation? A national anthrax exposure epidemic? What about terrorists supposedly on the lose in which the government says it has to declare Marshal Law to round them up, while at the same time rounding up American citizens the government has on a list? The federal government could initiate Operation Garden Plot if there were social unrest, political turmoil, or an economic disaster resulting in civil disturbances that local and state authorities could not control.

This policy is also part of the new Homeland Security Department measures. In addition, today, under a state of national emergency the President, after declaring Marshal Law, would give FEMA the authority to take control of the internal infrastructure of the United States and suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Did you understand what I just said. It would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To make matters worse, Congress would be prevented from conducting hearings over the actions of the President or FEMA, for six months or until the President lifted marshal law. Again, or until the President listed Marshal Law.

Today the Executive Order that establishes this authority is Executive Order 12919 and combined today with DODD 3025.12, FEMA would be empowered to hold civilian detainees in detention centers for as long as they wanted. Detainees also include those deemed a "health risk". They could also use the detainees as civilian labor which would be monitored by the Department of Defense, but supervised by the FBI. Also, FEMA’s Federal Response Plan as amended in June of 1999 also makes mention of Operation Garden Plot.

Another Operation called Operation CableSplicer

Operation Cable Splicer is a Department of Defense operation for the orderly take over of local and state governments. The development of this operation had its start when President Ronald Reagan was governor of California. Governor Reagan enlisted the assistance of the head of the state’s National Guard to putan operation together, which would assist the government during times ofcivil unrest. This condition required the declaration of Martial Law. It’s purpose was to legitimize the arrest and detainment of anti-warprotesters and political troublemakers during the Vietnam era. Initially the operation was presented to the public disguised as a program to protect against civil disturbances. Its’ stated purpose was to:

Keep people from gathering in the streets.
Isolate and neutralize the demonstrators and their leadership.
Disperse crowds and peaceful demonstrations.
Validate the action of the police without any explanation.
Deny the defendant due process.
To deny them the opportunity to recover money damages against the police for arresting them.

This operation involved three different scenarios, which justified its use in controlling civil disturbances and ultimately taking over all city and states government functions in an emergency as declared by the President of the United States with the use of military forces.

Here Is Someone Making The World A Better Place To Live In

I'd like to introduce you to Julie Flynn, a 44 year old mother of 3 children who has been operating a non-profit organization called Crossroads for Recovery. Her organization helps teens and young adults who suffer with depression and any issues that go along with it. I think what she is doing is greatly needed in this country with our troubled youth. I applaud you Julie! Her website is: www.illstandbyyou.com. Please be sure to visit her site and see how you can help!

And You Thought Milk and Dairy Was Good For You?

In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow's milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, adult onset diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis, varicose veins, kidney stones, mood swings,depression, irritability, allergies and many other health problems.

Author, Robert Cohen has written two very informative books,
Milk-The Deadly Poison and Milk A-Z.
On this page are over fifty research studies that Mr. Cohn has compiled to show the correlation of milk to health problems.

I urge you to not only read these research studies, but to order Mr. Cohen's books. You can order them on the page as well.

Mr. Cohen's website is:

As I mentioned in my last column, in this column and in future columns, news and my comments on several different areas of interest will be included.

TECHNOLOGY

STOP THOSE ANNOYING JAVA POP UP ADS

SMART SMOKE ALARM
Many smoke alarms can't tell the difference between real fire smoke and harmless common stove cooking smoke you can't see. The problem has been solved by First Alert. They have developed a new Smart Smoke Alarm that tells the difference. You can find them at Wal-Mart and other department/hardward stores for about $30.00. Most homeowners insurance policies offer a discount for smoke/fire alarm detection units install in your home.

WINDMILL FARMS COULD PROVIDE 20% OF NATIONS ELECTRICAL NEEDS

In 2001, enough new wind turbines were erected to provide electricity to nearly 475,000 homes annually in the country. It has been shown that if wind farms were put on less than 1% of American land, they would provide nearly 20% of our electricity, about what we get from nuclear power or from oil imports. If we used 2% of American land, we could do almost do away with nearly every nuclear power plant and would not be dependent on middle-eastern arab oil or the purchasing of Russian oil. Why are we getting in bed with Russia anyway? Russia is building two nuclear plants in Iran. This would give Iran the ability to manufacture the bomb. Iran provides safe haven and supports terrorists groups including Al-Queda. In addition, Russia has clamped down again on many of their democratic processes and civil freedoms for Russian citizens. I thought our present adminstration has stated that we will not tolerate any country that permits terrorism to breed. Well...Russia is certainly creating the capabilty for one of the most terrorists nations on earth to start World War Three. Could someone tell me if I am missing something here? And thanks to the present adminstrations cancelling of wind farms funding to expand wind farms with grants, we can kiss that goodbye. We will continue to have to worry about global warming, air pollution etc. because someone wants America to purchase oil from Russia? Hello Washington...anyone listening?

HEALTH

CANCER CAUSING CHEMICAL IN FOODS

In October, 1998, I wrote my column, "Hydrogenated Oils-Silent Killers". I warned readers about the health dangers of these oils. I also explained that oils that have been hydogenated at high temperatures to fuse hydrogen into them, create various deadly transformed fatty acids and chemicals. Swedish reseachers have now identified a chemical, Acrylamide, a polymor type plastic that is used in the making of plastic and also a known carcinogen is a by product of baking or frying carbohydrates like french fries at high temperatures. The World Health Organization recently met with over 800 scientists to implement measures to validate the research studies. In upcoming columns, I will provide the latest updates, research and news on this. For the time being, I advise, avoid anything baked or fried at high temperatures, and especially foods containing hydrogenated oils.

NANO-PROBES

You know those nano-probes you saw in the series Star Trek series Voyager that were put in crew members bodies? They could go in and fix almost everything that was wrong with the crew member? Interesting now because those writers of that show must have had visions of the future. Reseachers are presently developing several methods ranging from using killed virus genes to actual micro robots to be able to enter the body and correct gene defects and repair organs, like cleaning out clogged arteries or removing kidney stones. At present technology speed of development, these new miracles should be in use within ten years.

FOODS THAT PROVIDE.....AND ABOUT WATER

Romaine lettuce is a source of a natural amino acid called tyrosine, it counters depression.

Tomatoes contain the amino acid phenylalanine, which slows the breakdown of endorphins of your body's feeling good chemicals. This may be why arithritics avoid tomatoes.

Chicken is rich in tryptophan, an amino cid that converts to serotonin, a calm inducing brain chemical.

Green beans are rich in folic acid which also raises serotonin. The folic acid also protects against breast cancer, colon cancer and helps to lower homosysteine, a chemical that if high enough in your body has been linked to causing a heart attack.

Brown rice, ( not white rice ), is high in B-6. It helps to convert tryptophan to serotonin, which when eaten for dinner helps you sleep better. Whereas, a white potato is a starch that can elevate blood sugar and keep you up at night if you eat it too late before sleep.

The myth that you should not drink anything as you eat. Well...recent studies show that you should drink as you eat for two reasons. It provides moisture to the food to decrease constipation and the most important...it helps to maintain your weight because incorporating it into the meal will decrease appetite and in some causes will help you to lose weight. And if you are drinking distilled water which has lost 100% of the minerals and trace elements, ( which is good because the body really cannot utilize the minerals in this form and in some cases can cause kidney/gallbladder stones and other health problems ), or reverse osmosis bottled water, you should be taking a liquid mineral and trace element supplement. This will insure that you are getting enough of these important minerals and trace element minerals like copper, magnenese, molydbedum, boron and others that have a huge impact on the immune system and other organs. You absorb nearly 99% in liquid form and the body is able to uses minerals and trace elements that re in liquid form. Liquids are assimilated directly into the bloodstream. However, tablet form of vitamins and minerals, you lose nearly 40% of it in the digestion process. You're more or less literally throwing about forty cents out of every dollar you spend on any tablet form of any supplement. Bottom line...get the liquids! You'll be more healthy and it will cost less in the long run.

Eating Right For Your Blood Type

Are you eating right for your blood type? There are four blood types, O,A,B and AB. Do you know there are certain foods you should be eating and some foods you should be avoiding because of your blood type?

For example, if you have type O, your risk factors for ulcers and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis increase if you eat incorrectly for your blood type. If you are type A, your risk factors for cancer and heart disease increase if your eat incorrectly. If your type B, your risk for slow-growing viruses that attack your nervous system increases if you eat incorrectly. If you are type AB, you have the friendliest immune system of all blood types and have most of the intolerances of type A and B.
